Hunger Games Replica Preview

Monday, 6 February 2012

Hold on to your hats, this is going to be a long post. I’ve been pretty excited about the new Hunger Games movie dropping this summer, and I’m even more excited to see a bunch of (what appear to be) quality replicas coming out.

Although there are a bunch of interesting pieces that totally immerse you in the flavor of Panem, there are equally un-cool pieces as well (I present to you The Hunger Games umbrella). You can view the whole line here. I went through and picked my must-haves from the list.

The Hunger Games Movie Jacket Cheap Version
This appears to be the cheapy version of the replica jacket, although at $49 it’s not terribly cheap. Perfect if you’re buying for someone who might outgrow it. It’s all nylon and definitely lightweight. I’ll probably gift it with the nylon bag.

The Hunger Games Movie Laptop Decals
Even though I know now one in District 12 was rocking laptops, I really love the district logo designs. Of course, I’d have to take a black sharpie to all the copyright info.

The Hunger Games Movie Necklace Single Chain “Match Case”In the book, Katniss gets a box of matches as part of her backpack of supplies from the cornucopia. I’m assuming this piece replaces those boxes in the film. The necklace is $19, but, unless you’re absolutely married to the idea of having one with the Hunger Games tag at the end, you can get the same case for $6 and add your own chain.

The Hunger Games Movie Necklace Compartment “Parachute”I absolutely love this. It’s got an interesting design and the parachute figures in all three books. I have no idea what the parachute will look like that this compartment attaches to, but I know I’ll be attempting to make it.
